Ship owners say Almeria unsuitable for British trade with Spain
A British ship owners committee trading with Spain condemns Almeria as the safest port option proposed by General Franco. They call it the smallest of seven Spanish ports used by British shipping, with quay space under 1000 feet and dock facilities inadequate. It cannot handle more than seven vessels or ships over 3000 tons, while 45 vessels, many over 3000 tons, discharge at other Spanish ports. Almeria is nearer the frontline than the other first class ports.
